All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 314
The emperor frowned deeply when he heard Yun Chong's name.

He had no good impressions of Emperor Yun and the prince.

But now that Juro was in this state, he naturally couldn't delay Juro's treatment just because he liked it.

"Okay, I order you to treat Juro immediately. As for the murderer...it won't be too late to catch Juro until his symptoms are gone." The emperor ordered.

"The Emperor has a clear warning." Yun Chong said sincerely: "Although His Highness is suffering from the symptoms of 'Fire Yang', it is definitely not caused by mistakenly taking 'Fire Yang'. This medicine is stronger than a tiger. Given the age of the Tenth Prince, if he mistakenly takes If you take it, you would have died a long time ago, and it won’t just be on your face.”

"It's not a mistake. What is that?" the emperor asked in surprise.

Yun Chong: "This happened because he touched something contaminated with the 'Fire Yang' medicinal powder. Lie Yang is a medicine, not a poison. If you want to neutralize the medicinal properties of Lie Yang, you must first find out what is in the things that His Highness touches every day." , was anyone deliberately sprinkled with medicinal powder?"

"If these things contaminated with medicinal powder are not found and the source of the medicine is not eliminated, even if I have the right medicine that can neutralize the properties of the raging sun, it will not be able to relieve the symptoms of His Highness Ten, and may even kill His Highness. "

"Check!" the emperor said decisively, "check now, give me a thorough investigation immediately!"

Yun Chong responded "Yes".

Then he stood up and walked to the nanny.

"Do you take care of His Highness the Tenth Prince all day long?" he asked warmly.

"Yes...yes." The wet nurse didn't know why, and carefully replied: "His Highness only drinks the milk of the slave, and only recognizes the empress and the slave. On weekdays, His Highness spends more time with the slave."

Yun Chong asked again, "So, everything used by His Highness will also pass through your hands, right?"

"Yes." The nanny replied honestly.

Yun Chong nodded clearly.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, turned around and saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, 'Fierce Sun' is colorless and odorless. Even if the powder is stained on things, it is extremely difficult to distinguish it. I have a bottle of powder here, just put it on the wet nurse Everything on the body that His Highness the Tenth Prince can touch will be put into the water mixed with this powder one by one and examined. If anything changes color when exposed to water, it is contaminated with the powder from the burning sun."

The emperor glanced at Zhu Lianxi.

Zhu Lianxi immediately waved to several chamberlains and told them to prepare as instructed.

In just one cup of tea, two servants brought in a wooden basin filled with water and placed it in the middle of the tent hall.

Yun Chong sprinkled the medicinal powder into the water. When the medicinal powder met the water, it melted. The water was clear and transparent with no abnormality.

The palace maids surrounded a screen with white cloth. The wet nurse walked into the screen, took off her hairpin jewelry and outer clothes, and handed the trinkets in her sleeve pockets to the tenth prince one by one through the screen. out.

Every time she handed something over, there were eunuchs singing beside her, and there were also dedicated maids who put the things into the basin one by one.

"A hosta."

"A pair of jade bracelets."

"A piece of outer clothing."

"Bupa one..."

Those things were put into the water one after another in front of everyone.

The color of the water is always clear and transparent with no discoloration.

Until the palace maid put a green tassel into the water——

"It's changed... it's changed!"

Zhu Lianxi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, look, this thing changes color when it is put into water."

The emperor approached the basin and lowered his eyes. He saw that the originally clear water began to appear like ink stains, turning into clumps of brownish red from where the tassels were.

The color looked very similar to the color when Doctor Li was using a silver needle to open the red sore on the tenth prince's face.

"It turns out it's you." The emperor said with authority, "Here comes..."

"Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused." The wet nurse hurriedly ran out from behind the screen and knelt down in front of the Emperor. "Your Majesty, this servant is unjustly accused! Even if I gave you ten courages, I would not dare to murder His Highness. This thing... this thing Not a slave!"

"Bold!" Zhu Lianxi scolded angrily, "If the things found on your body are not yours, who can they be?"

"Your Majesty, this is indeed not something from our Furong Palace."

At this moment, Concubine Zhao held the tenth prince in her arms and walked to the water basin. She looked at the tassel, her face turned pale, she reached out and pointed to Shen Lingxi beside Chu Yan and said, "It belongs to the Crown Princess Shen!"

The emperor frowned deeply.

Although Shen Lingxi had already expected that the fire would definitely burn her body, she still had a very cooperative look of surprise on her face.

Chu Yan, who was on the side, had already lowered his face and said mockingly: "Concubine Zhao, I think you are crazy. How could the princess's things appear in Furong Palace?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to rush to threaten this palace." Concubine Zhao said to the emperor with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you still remember that on the day of the Lantern Festival, Shiro Shang grabbed the crown prince's Yun Jian and wouldn't let go. Take off the cloud shoulder and give it to Juro?"

The emperor's eyes darkened.

Not only him, but all the concubines present remembered this, with shock on their faces, and a bit of disbelief in their eyes when looking at Shen Lingxi.

Concubine Zhao had a clear view of everyone's reactions and choked up her voice: "Juro likes the tassel on Crown Princess Yun's shoulder, and he doesn't want to let go of it after returning to the palace. So I asked the wet nurse to cut off the tassel on it and give it to Juro to play with. I thought... I didn’t expect that the Crown Princess would use this thing to harm Juro.”

If the person she identified was not herself, Shen Lingxi would have applauded for them.

Shen Lingxi was sure it was a coincidence that the tenth prince grabbed her Yun Jian during the Shangyuan Festival.

What's more, Yun Chong had just entered the capital at that time. Even if he had powerful means, he would not plan such things in advance.

It was hard for them to find this thing and frame the drugging on her after so long in order to drag her into trouble.

Chu Yan's face suddenly turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Juro played with the things from the Shangyuan Festival until today, and nothing happened. I think the medicinal properties of this 'Fierce Yang' are nothing more than this."

Concubine Zhao's face froze, but soon she covered her face with a veil and sobbed: "Your Majesty, you heard it. It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince also knows about this..."

This is just messing around.

"Say a few words less."

The emperor's face darkened to the bottom of the pot. Naturally, he would not think that it was Chu Yan who had done this to Juro.

But the tassel was indeed taken off Shen Lingxi's Yun shoulder.

The emperor trusted Chu Yan, but that didn't mean that he would trust Shen Lingxi.

In the emperor's opinion, Chu Yan was the one he had watched grow up. He had valued love and righteousness since he was a child and would never do such a thing.

But Shen Lingxi is a woman after all.

The emperor had been accustomed to the clandestine ways in which the women in the harem competed for favors and treasures since he was a child.

With her current status, even if she didn't take action to ensure that Rokuro's position as heir apparent was safe, she still wouldn't be able to ensure that she would eliminate Juro as a roadblock for her future son in advance.

There is still suspicion between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who are direct relatives.

What's more, Shen Lingxi is just a niece-in-law.

"Princess, what do you say?" The emperor's tone was questioning.

Chu Yan frowned and was about to speak for Shen Lingxi, but she cut off the words first.

"It seems that this tassel belongs to my daughter-in-law. I have nothing to say about the origin of this thing."

"As for the 'Fire Sun'..." Shen Lingxi took a step forward, looked at Yun Chong, and asked pointedly, "As His Highness the Crown Prince said, if there is medicinal powder sprinkled on this tassel by my wife in advance, then Your Highness the Tenth Prince The attack will definitely not be delayed until today, not to mention, the nanny will handle the things that His Highness plays with every day, so why is it that the nanny is fine but His Highness is poisoned?"
